Dual diagnosis rehabs are facilities which provide rehabilitation to deal with both addiction and mental health issues concurrently. Dual diagnosis is a very common circumstance for those involved with substance abuse, as people who have mental health problems often self medicate with alcohol and drugs to to feel some kind of short-term respite from their disorder. Inside a dual diagnosis rehab, rehab professionals will help men and women using a detailed treatment plan all aimed at restoring and stabilizing mental, physical and emotional health as well as addressing drug abuse concerns. Offering a safe and secure environment is vital to ensure dual diagnosis clients can be comfortable and remain undistracted from circumstances that may compromise their treatment plan and progress. Rehab counselors will work to recognize environmental factors in the client's life including negative people in their lives or other things which have to be addressed in order for the individual to stay mentally healthy and abstinen t once they depart dual diagnosis rehab. Dual diagnosis clients also benefit from behavioral treatment which helps them develop more effective coping methods so that they are able to better deal with life situations more effectively if they depart dual diagnosis rehab rather than returning to drugs as an inferior option.
